Mass Rapid Transit, Nairobi – Kenia

 

Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is one of the fastest growing metropolises in the world; characterized by significant traffic congestion throughout the city. The current public transport shares the road network with the individual traffic and therefore is very inefficient.

Mass-Rapid-Transit-Nairobi

On behalf of the Kenyan Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, PB CONSULT plans together with JBG and ETC an efficient transport system that includes commuter rail and BRT; as well as a network adapted minibus transport system (matatus):

  • analysis and partial integration of previous relevant studies
  • network development for the analysis and forecast horizon, based on current and extrapolated data from traffic surveys, by using macroscopic traffic simulation
  • strategic implementation including institutional recommendations

On this basis, a bus rapid transit line (Jogoo Road Corridor) is planned in detail by using microscopic traffic simulation:

  • traffic surveys
  • detailed road alignment including PT stops, turning loops, depots, workshops and other facilities
  • operational concepts
  • maintenance concepts
